The Grounds & Landscape Technician is a vital part of the on-site maintenance team. You will report directly to the Service Manager and be responsible for maintaining the entire landscape of a 20-acre community at a professional, full-service level. When landscaping work is complete, you will assist the maintenance team with work orders and other property needs.

Your ongoing responsibilities will include:

• Maintain all landscaped areas to professional standards, including mowing, pruning, trimming, edging, mulching, planting, and seasonal enhancements.
• Inspect, repair, and maintain sprinkler heads, valves, controllers, and irrigation systems.
• Perform drainage installation, repairs, and land grading to ensure proper water flow and prevent erosion or pooling.
• Monitor the health of trees, grass, shrubs, and plants, and make necessary adjustments to keep landscaping thriving.
• Install flowers and landscape features to maintain strong curb appeal.
• Keep grounds clean and free of debris daily.
• Assist maintenance with work orders and general property tasks as needed.
• Identify and report safety or property concerns to the Service Manager.
• Contribute to a team culture focused on customer service and community pride.

To thrive, you should have:

• 2+ years of hands-on landscaping or grounds maintenance experience, preferably on a large property.
• Knowledge of irrigation systems, drainage solutions, land grading, and plant care.
• Ability to work independently and manage daily priorities.
• Willingness to assist with general maintenance tasks when landscaping duties are complete.
• Valid driver's license.
• Certifications such as CPO, HVAC, irrigation, or maintenance-related licenses are a plus but not required.
